Knocked Up

Pros: *Romantic Comedy / Drama
*Katherine Heigl
*Seth Rogen
Cons: *Language, nudity and drug use may put some off
R rating for a reason

One of the great things about being on vacation is going to an afternoon matinee during the week. Not something I get to do very often since I’m usually taking care of 3 – 5 children everyday. Today my husband and I grabbed a few munchies and ...

Pros: Heigl, Rogen, Mann, Rudd, story
Cons: The movie runs a little long

They thought their night together was going to be a one-night stand. A couple of months later, the woman calls the man with some news that is going to change both of their lives. It's not an easy call, for neither expected to see the other again. As they ...

Pros: Very entertaining with plenty of laughs, mostly great cast.
Cons: Drags at a couple of points.

After three consecutive weeks of disappointing summer movies, mr_chelledun and I had almost given up all hope of an enjoyable movie season. Fortunately, the raunchy comedy Knocked Up proved to be a winner and renewed our faith in film. This ...

Pros: Katherine Heigl of course.
Cons: The movie has a been there, done that feel.

Okay I’ll be honest, I’ll come clean; Katherine Heigl was prime motivator in going to see Knocked Up (2006). Next to my wife she is probably one of the only women in America whom I would die for. Perhaps that is a (slight) exaggeration, but you ...

Pros: Rogen is a great leading man. Excellent ensemble comedy. Manages to be sweet and hilarious.
Cons: Apatow lets some scenes run on too long.

Judd Apatow strikes again with another R-rated comedy that manages to be funny and sweet at the same time. It's refreshing for someone like Apatow to be churning out comedies. In an era where Hollywood tries to trim movies so they can get a PG-13 rating ...

Pros: Good cast, lots of funny stuff
Cons: Crude

Knocked Up is an adult comedy about a beautiful young professional woman who finds herself pregnant with a rather undesirable guy. It stars Katherine Heigl of Gray’s Anatomy and is from the same people who made The 40 Year-Old ...

Pros: good jokes and characters, has more going on than the typical comedy
Cons: not as funny as 40-Year-Old Virgin

As I see it, Knocked Up is the unofficial sequel to The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Writer-director-producer Judd Apatow was the creative force behind both films, which are thematically related. Both are about nice people, overwhelmed a bit by the whole ...

Pros: Rogen, Heigl and the rest of the cast, touching
Cons: a lot of crude humor

A few years ago, if I had seen the trailers for Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, I probably would not have said to myself, "Now, that is a movie I need to see." One-night stands? Potty humor? Excessive profanity? R rating? Sounds more like something ...

Pros: Cast. Story. Humor. Characters.
Cons: Length.

Anyone who attacks Knocked Up for "only exploring the male's point of view" is missing out some of the film's best observations: take, for example, its jabs at suburban paranoia and Hollywood anorexia. Early on, female lead Alison Scott (Katherine ...

Pros: The Cast and the writing
Cons: Might be a little long for some (not for me!)

Knocked Up isn’t the sort of movie I will normally go see in the theater. It’s the sort I would normally wait to rent or wait for a friend to bring it over or maybe wait for it to show up on cable. 40 Year-Old Virgin was fun and all but not $10 (or more ...

Pros: Direction/Script, Humor, Look, Music, Antics, Themes, & Cast, notably Rogen & Heigl.
Cons: None.

In 2005 amidst the summer blockbuster of huge, action films, and superhero movies, rated R comedies came back with a vengeance thanks to the success of Wedding Crashers. Another rated R comedy that became a hit was The 40-Year-Old Virgin ...

Pros: Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd; Comedy, Drama, Romance. Not a chick flick.
Cons: Some parts are draggy; needs editing. Where's the wedding?

Knocked Up is not really a bad movie but it's been done before. It may be hip with stoner friends and close to a lot of updated real life situations with young people who barely know each other or who barely know themselves and end up with a possible ...

Pros: Hilarious, sweet, actors are all amazing, great pacing, truly a unique experience
Cons: It's over 2 hours long, but you don't notice

On average, and bare in mind this is a statistical fact, Hollywood releases about 10 actually good movies a year. Rarely do these movies get released during the summer, which is primarily saved for ultra-budget, special effects laden extravaganzas that ...

Pros: Hilarious script, likeable characters, strangely heartwarming
Cons: Some may be turned off by the pervasive swearing, occasionally drags

Unplanned pregnancy...is there anything more hilarious? Well, yes. Many things. It's actually a very distressing and uncomfortable thing for those going through it, and can hurt a person's reputation or put their job in jeopardy. But hey, when two of ...

Pros: Lots of laughs, quirky characters.
Cons: Foul language, crude humor may turn some people off.

"Knocked Up" is one of this Summer's new releases. It was written and produced by Judd Apatow (the director of 40 Year Old Virgin). The cast includes several characters that starred in 40 Year Old Virgin and has a lot of the same humor. The ...
